Song Meaning of “Orchard Skies” by Thad Fiscella
Orchard Skies tells the story of a person standing beneath a starry night sky and lost in introspection, reflecting on the beauty of the moment and its implications for their life. The orchard they are standing in emphasizes the fragility of life, but also the bountiful nature of its blessings. The sky is described as being “blue-gray” signifying a sense of peace and hope, despite sorrow or difficulty that may be present. Despite the overwhelming sense of peace and possibility, dark clouds overtake the sky, reminding us of the unpredictability of life’s journey.
The chorus speaks of an enduring hope and eagerness for the coming day, and a willingness to embrace both the good and the bad with gusto. Although the clouds may pass in the night, the song highlights the importance of savoring the time beneath them, in whatever season of life we have been given. As the sun rises, it brings with it a renewed appreciation for all who have made us who we are, and our promise to try and make the most of every opportunity. Here, we see reflected the hope and beauty of the orchard skies and a reminder that no matter the darkness that may come, the sun will always eventually rise.
